I determine the value. I won't work for a wage unless I approve of it. I won't buy a product unless I like the price.
Money makes it much easier to track. I can say that 200 cans of beans is equal to a sheep, but what do I do if I don't want 200 cans of beans? It's a lot easier to hand over a dollar bill for a can of beans instead of working out how to divide a sheep.
